That's one of the reasons I'm done with new vehicles. That and the fact new vehicles are priced about double what they should be.
Why not doing your own repairs will make you go bankrupt.

Dad got just under a million miles on his 86 sierra before frame bent . He overloaded that thing with construction tools got stuck everywhere in heavy mud and it kept going and going. Yes it was rusty and took a few junkyard 350’s and transmissions but was reliable as heck .. one simple repair on his newer truck costs more than a engine or transmission in his old one.. lol

While delivering in Florida recently. I noticed that all the Locals picking up feed, half had almost new Dually’s, mostly Ford, a few GM’s. The other half had mid 90’s Dodge’s.
